[Bug 57483] Omit "Keep-Alive" header on 1.1 connections

--- Comment #4 from Gunter Grodotzki <gu...@grodotzki.co.za> ---
Some random notes I am throwing in here after doing some debugs this weekend:

1. It is _not_ needed (nor "defined by the protocol") to send the "Keep-Alive:"
response header - in fact other webservers don't even do that by default
(IIS/Nginx)

2. When building http-clients, it would be super bad practice to rely on
"headers" and there are other better ways of knowing if a tcp connection is
still live or not.

3. While IIS and Nginx usually allow some milliseconds more than the timeout
config, Apache usually falls a few milliseconds short, that means, if a
http-client would rely on this header, it would assume still being able to use
the connection while that wouldn't be anymore true.
